Today wasn’t cold at all. Only my house is cold, but this is another story 
I’m referring to the climate in my sunny region. The forrests are all maroon o nakes trees, the sun is bright and the sky blue without clouds. There is some fresh wind, which makes me live a pleasure going out.
Add all of this to a perfect salsa evening, and the mix is wonderful.
If I had a special girl to give some attentions I think that this evening would be special. But hei, I can’t have everything at once, it would be too easy
Then, I’ll let this energetic and hyperactive day end with a nice movie.

Some of you may think that if I don’t post anything it means I’m not enjoying anything. You are wrong
I don’t write everything that I enjoy… You will never know some of my mysterys
Anyway,as you may have noticed, I started enjoying (more then before) videogames. I know hat games can eat a lot of my free time… but I like to play so much.
What I hate, anyway, is to play alone. I started enjoying videogames more than before when I started to play them with vocal chat support.
It’s very nice to play with a friend and to be able to say a few words (or even to have a conversation, when using skype) during the game.
I will soon add some past posts. I’ll write here the posts that I wrote when I was in Lithuania. I did a "pseudo blog" there and I’d like to have it online…
I’d also like to change blog platform, I don’t like blogger as it hasn’t categories as movabletype.
I’ll see…

Resistance is futile against my wishes
What I enjoy the most is to see my ideas, which are usually too innovative (especially cyberpunk ideas) and non-understandable by the majority of people, into action. Even if not the way I wanted. What counts, for me, is the final result. As well as for what I own: what counts are the contents and the usefulness. Music is a good example. I don’t need cd-boxes, I just need the music, that’s why my entire collection is in mp3. I even converted all my original CDs in mp3, as it’s too boring for me to put the CD in the cdplayer each time I want to listen a few songs.
Anyway, to come back to what I was introducing…
My complaint in the novaworld forum was only an anticipation of what I was going to do and that I did in the last days. I don’t like to complain without doing something to solve my problem myself.
That’s why I downloaded the Escalation iso from bittorrent, my favorite peer-to-per (leeching) program. The speed is really high.
Then I had to buy a valid cd-key. as, since a while, I’m doing shopping on ebay, I bided and won it there. I asked to the seller if he would agree to send me the cd-key only, by e-mail, without charging me the shipping costs, and he agreed.
I got my expansion pack for 19.5$, about 23.- CHF. In Swiss German shops the game can be found (German version) for about 38.- CHF. As I already spent 78.- CHF, saving some money here wasn’t a bad idea. I would have done the same also for the original game, if I knew before how practical is to do so.
Anyway, I think that games like this, with a server side cd-key check upon game load, should let the iso version available for download, maybe using some innovative (and smart) ways to save some bandwidth: by using peer-to-peer sharing like edonkey2000 or bittorrent networks.
